All of this demonstrates that the insurance sector is increasingly receiving serious attention for systemic and sustainable strengthening. In this article, we summarize seven of the hottest and most relevant news stories from the insurance world, which you should know if you’re an industry player, business owner, or simply want to stay up-to-date on developments in the sector.
Revealed! The State-Owned Enterprise’s Grand Plan That’s Making the Insurance Industry Boom
Plans for the consolidation or merger of state-owned insurance and reinsurance companies are increasingly being discussed. This discourse has received a positive response from various parties, including the Indonesian General Insurance Association (AAUI). Budi Herawan, AAUI Chairman, believes that the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI), as a shareholder, has certainly conducted a thorough review of this plan.
Budi sees this consolidation as a strategic move that will have a positive impact. He believes that combining several companies will strengthen capital capacity, thus making the industry more resilient amid market dynamics. He also added, “Rather than each company requesting additional capital, it’s better to just do it once,” he said.
On the other hand, Budi also highlighted that this consolidation will encourage an increased national industrial competitiveness, especially in the corporate market, domestic reinsurance, and other strategic sectors. However, he reminded the importance of maintaining principles of healthy competition(fair competition) so as not to marginalize players from the private sector.
OJK Still Awaiting Detailed Concept
The Financial Services Authority (OJK), through Ogi Prastomiyono, Chief Executive of Insurance, Guarantee, and Pension Fund Supervision, stated that the OJK is still awaiting an official concept from Danantara. Ogi explained that once the concept is received, the OJK will immediately discuss it with relevant parties.
Ogi also believes this consolidation could have a positive impact on the industry, as it would strengthen company resilience and capacity. “If there are several similar companies scattered around, they become smaller. If they become one, it would be better,” he explained.
He added that this consolidation aims to make industry players stronger in terms of capitalization and risk management implementation. This will ultimately ensure more sustainable economic growth. However, he did not deny the pros and cons, particularly regarding share ownership in each company.
Both AAUI and OJK agree that this consolidation is an important step to strengthen the national insurance industry. However, its implementation needs to be designed with the principles of transparency and accountability involving all stakeholders.
